Some research that I saw in a Inclusive Schooling class I took,
pointed to a the degree of translation of left handed person
needs to do. The statistic of being more proned to accidents
relates to the left handed person needing to translate the right
handed world into his/her left handed reality. From a
evolutionary perspective this delay in reaction can be very
dangerous. Like Phil I am very suspicious of broad
generilizations of left handedness leading to addiction, but I
am left handed and an ex addict. My inclination is there may be
some general that can be realized in a variety of ways with
addiction being of the destructive variety. In the U.S. a very
high percentage of our Presidents are left handed.
